Inclusion of a body tag in snippet template

Hi all

I have a requirement to include a body tag node to an rss xml page.

<item>
<title>blah blah</title>
<body><![CDATA[  <p>"It is as crucial ...."</p  ]]></body>
</item>

Does anyone know how I can stop Velocity from stripping out the body tag in this instance?

Found my own answer to this by using a raw slot to avoid having to use a velocity snippet!

In the raw slot rendering the rss xml body node is not removed.
